Timothée Chalamet Collaborates with EsDeeKid to Address Fan Speculation
Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet has addressed widespread speculation that he is secretly the anonymous rapper EsDeeKid. The rumors, fueled by fans noting a resemblance between Chalamet’s eyes and those of the masked rapper, have circulated online for weeks. Earlier this week, when asked about the rumors, Chalamet only responded with ‘No comment… You’ll see, all in due time.’ He has now put the speculation to rest by performing alongside EsDeeKid in a video remix of the rapper’s top 40 hit ‘4Raws.’ In the clip, Chalamet begins by showing only his eyes, mimicking EsDeeKid’s signature masked appearance, before revealing his face and delivering lines referencing both his own wealth ambitions and his partner Kylie Jenner. The collaboration, filmed at Andover Minimarket Off Licence in north London, also includes subtle promotions for Chalamet’s upcoming film, ‘Marty Supreme.’ The video quickly went viral, receiving reactions from prominent figures in the music industry such as Central Cee and Tinie Tempah. Despite the initial curiosity and fan theories, it was always unlikely that Chalamet and EsDeeKid were the same person, given their different accents and musical styles. This joint performance effectively confirms that Chalamet is not leading a double life as the masked rapper, while also serving as a creative marketing opportunity for his film projects.
